All Chapters of Tangled Hearts: A forbidden Romance: Chapter 81 - Chapter 90

ELLIE“What’s the matter?” I felt like it was something illegal to mention Dylan Brooks within the school. There were just too many things that made me feel like I was doing something wrong by having anything at all to do with Dylan. “You don’t know who Dylan Brooks is?” Jasmine made me feel even worse with that question. It felt like I had made the most foolish move one could ever make in life. “If I knew who he was, then I most certainly wouldn’t be asking you this. Could you just go ahead and tell me who he is so I can know what exactly it is I’m doing wrong.” I was getting pretty impatient at that point as Jasmine seemed to have me in suspense on purpose. “Dylan Brooks was one of our best football players until he transferred. He was on our school team but left due to some reasons best known to him.” Jasmine said with a sigh as I was expecting her to say something more and worse. “So...? Is that it? Is that all that’s wrong about Dylan Brooks?” I was really hoping that was all

ELLIE’S POV “Are you listening to yourself right now?” I asked as I was trying to figure out what could have suddenly gone off in Troy's head at that point as he was simply acting out like a character who had suddenly forgotten his lines and took up another. Troy was silent for a few moments as he knew that he had nothing on me at that point. He was simply punching the air and was desperately seeking ways to take out his frustration. I wasn't in the mood for all of that. “Why did you have to go for Dylan of all people?” Troy finally asked the question which had been the thing killing him slowly. “Excuse me… but who the heck are you?” I asked with a quite dramatic tone that didn't fail to get on his nerves, as I saw his face redden from all the words I had said to him. “I see… you're doing all of this to get to me, right?” he asked with pain etched in his eyes. “You're not that important, Troy…” I said as I walked away, leaving him speechless. ***AIDENThe sounds of the noises

ELLIE“Troy? Are you being serious right now?” I was almost feeling like I was living in a blooper at that point. It seemed like that interruption wasn't meant to happen at all. There were just too many things that were off about it.“What are you doing here?” Dylan asked as I was almost hiding behind him. The long awaited clash was finally happening right in front of me and I was simply getting ready to watch just what the extent of their rivalry had been. “I should be asking you that..." Troy's gaze kept shifting continuously between Dylan and me. “What are you both doing here?”"Well, it seems you didn't come here to practice, Maddox. You came here to look around for girls that could possibly have their eyes on you. That's not how you're going to bag a state championship for your school…" Dylan was pretty intentional with every single syllable that he spat at him. "If this is your way of playing mind games, then you're going to try harder, Brooks..." Troy was livid at everything

ELLIE“Ellie?” Another awkward moment had come upon me. I was trying to hide my face from Aiden's. I was expecting another one of his usual outbursts, but he just turned around and walked away into the house.“Are you in trouble?” Dylan asked, with a tone laced with concern. He was probably feeling that it was all his fault for keeping me there that long, and I hated that. “I'm not sure… I can't tell…” I said as I hurriedly took my things and was soon making my way out of his car. “I just have to go now. I'm sorry it's happening this way. We'll talk later…”It was hard for me to think of what could become of me if he would be ratting me out to my father or his mother. I wasn't sure what they would do to me, or if they would do anything like I was suspecting that they would do. “Are you sure you're going to be alright?” Dylan asked one last time before he drove off. He was going to take time to get over the fact that he was about to get me into trouble with my parents.“I'll be fine

KAIThe next day had come rapidly, and I was moving into it with nothing but my determination that came purely from the last words I had said to Aiden in our last meeting on the court. “Are you alright?” Kyle questioned as I got down the stairs, with a readiness to get away from there without saying hi to anyone at all. “I'm good…” I said as I walked past him without looking at him for a single moment. “You're looking pale and tired,” Kyle complained as he took a closer look at me and that made me feel quite like some sort of weirdo. I just couldn't help but wonder why he wasn't going to mind himself and his business. “That's my problem, not yours…” I said as I walked past him. I wasn't in the mood for breakfast or that conversation as well. That day felt like I was turning a new leaf and I was even more determined to make things happen the way I wanted. “Kai… you're acting scary these days.. what the heck is up with you?” Kyle asked, as he quickly ran up to me and was soon stand
